[Guide] What to do at 65.
Most of the Daily Dungeons and Events can be found by hitting ESC in game.
The Rift is a great place to fight Hero and Boss mobs for Hero Tokens, Magic Gems, cubes and there is a chance of finding a rare Goblin mob that can give amazing rewards. Don't let those goblins get away!
Rift Overdrives happen when enough people have entered a Rift in an area to send it into overdrive. When this happens you can enter the Rift as many times as you want during the overdrive without deducting from your daily allowed entries.
Rift Invasions happen after the timer for Overdrive runs out. The continent that went into overdrive will be invaded and a special dungeon will appear somewhere on that continent. Find that dungeon, complete the mission and earn cool rewards from the boss cubes you can claim if you succeed. You must have at least 12 people for the instance to begin and I believe it is limited to 20 people per instance. Don't worry, multiple instances can open during the Invasion times.
Fabrice's Garden provides you with plenty of upgrade and crafting materials, these will definitely come in handy later on. There is even a chance to get Pets and Evolution Stones or Fragments. Evolution Stones are used to evolve your pet.
This is a great dungeon to farm Magic Gems, which are used for many game features like expanding your storage, to identifying items and upgrading items.
Blood Castle is a timed dungeon that has the potential to give really great Jewel and Bless and Gem Pouch rewards. You have to finish this dungeon with more than 2 minutes left on the clock to receive any reward and the best rewards are time based. The faster you complete this dungeon, the better the rewards will be.
Luery loves his money and you can find some of it in this vault. You can pick up a ton of money off the ground by fighting the mobs and destroying statues, but you can also get statues from the cube you get as a reward from the boss at the end. These statues can sell for a lot of zen. 150, 250, or even 400k.
Endless Tower rewards you mainly with Seal of Power, Seal of Power can be exchanged at the NPC on Ohrdor named Endless Tower Merchant for Wing Growth Stone that you can use to upgrade your wings at the Enchantment Merchant. You can also buy a Wing Evolution Stone with Seal of Power if your wing is ready to move up to the next tier. Endless Tower is a great way to test your teams ability to fight various types of mobs and bosses as each floor gives a different challenge.
Lupa's Labyrinth is a great place to level up your pet, artifacts and earn Artifact Fragments to create new artifacts. Each floor of the labyrinth has a set of mobs, similar to the Endless tower, but at the end of each area is a small cube you need to press to move to the next stage. There is a progression bar that will fill as you kill mobs and bosses, when that bar is full you will initiate the boss instance. This is where you get most, if not all, of your artifact experience. You have a limited time to complete this dungeon as well, so be prepared.
AI Arena is a pvp style arena where you fight against virtual copies of other players. You can earn Magic Gems.
Mythic Dungeons are the same dungeons you did when completing the quest line to get to 65, but they are now harder. Mythic difficulty allows for greater value drops from the bosses at the end and can result in Ancient and Mythic gear dropping from the bosses themselves. There is a daily quest to complete 4 Mythic dungeons per day, check the Daily Mission tab on your ESC menu.
Sanctum of Dragon Knights and Dragon's Haven are the hardest dungeons in the game, at least so far. They require a minimum of 97,250 CP in order to participate but I honestly recommend being over 100,000 CP and having at least full legendary gear equipped. These dungeons require a lot of coordination and teamwork among your party members. The result is amazing loot from the boss cubes. Of any of the cubes in game that you would want to make sure to spend money to open multiple times, these would be the ones I would recommend.
You can buy, sell and trade items to make money, you can upgrade your equipment to make yourself stronger, or you can play around in town and duel other players.

Join the official MU Legend Discord!
Webzen moderators will never ask you for your password!
However you can't earn Fighter Tokens from AI Arena. You can earn it from 3v3 coop mode which is not implemented yet(?).
As always LadyLiana well written and detailed guide!
Rift overdrives, are a great way to get more magic gems when you have done all of your rifts already!
What good loots does the goblins in the rift drop?
The Goblins in the rift drop cubes that can drop some amazing crafting materials, or Lupa's Library Keys, Lupa's Library is an amazing area to farm for guild shrine mats.
Also, you can always chill in lags with your friends, or get few disconnects inside the dungeon and leave your group doing 4/5 dungeon, at times 3/5. Another fun feature to stare at the chat flooded by bot gold sellers.
That or play on an alt character - it doesn't much matter to me if they disconnect as they aren't doing anything super important anyway.
or you can get together at ohrdor commercial district with some of guildmates/buddies pop those amazing mounts and afk 8hrs a day on some of the busy streets where people would usually pass you and see you grouping up together staying in 1spot and just stay there and be like all together like cool and all that bragging rights with crown above your name if you got a castle and stuff with all that mounts shining armors and weapon. you know what i mean like in the old MU Online days or Ragnarok Online. geeez im old.

KTRK-TV(NEW BERN, N.C.) — The Cajun Navy came to the aid of nearly 160 people in North Carolina Friday morning, many of whom had to be rescued from the roofs of their cars after they were stranded while trying to drive away from the devastation of Hurricane Florence.
The Cajun Navy is an informal volunteer group — composed mainly of private boat owners — who assist in search and rescue efforts. The organization was formed after Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana in 2005.
Around 310 people from nine different states are on the ground in New Bern, North Carolina, providing resources and manpower to first responders, Terrell said. Some have traveled hundreds of miles to help in any way they can, including getting people out with air mattresses when boats can't be used.
"The winds were so high. We couldn't get [the boats] in there because the winds were toppling them and it was making it unsafe for us, so we had to use a couple of air mattresses and float people out," Terrell said.
Taylor Fontenot, a roofer in Sugar Land, Texas, joined the Cajun Navy last year after Hurricane Harvey hit the Lone Star state in August 2017. He traveled to the Florida Keys after Hurricane Irma ravaged the islands in September 2017 and flew to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria hit just weeks later.
On Wednesday, Fontenot packed up diving gear, a rappelling harness, first aid supplies, a chainsaw and Houston Texans football cleats to bring with him to the Carolinas.
The volunteers hope to keep the hurricane a "zero-casualty event," Fontenot said.

The team at Bicycle Junction are excited to announce that we're moving to a new space in the city! Our little shop in Newtown has served us amazingly well over the past four years, and we're sad to leave the extremely supportive Newtown community - but having a bigger space in a more central location will open us up to a whole world of new opportunity. We can't wait to reach out to more people, to have room to display more beautiful bikes and to host bigger and better events on the regular!
The new shop will be located at number 1 Marion Street - an up-and-coming area surrounded by small and innovative businesses, galleries and cafes. We can't wait to see what happens as this area grows over the coming years, and we're stoked to be moving in to grow with it!
Our collective vision is for the new space to be a 'community hub' for Wellington's cycle culture to mingle. A place where people - both cyclists and non-cyclists - can come to hang out, get great coffee and food, and have access to our knowledgeable staff and skilled mechanics. It'll be an urban hub for all things bicycle related - so watch this space!
We're crowdfunding here to help with the fit-out and to fund the necessary resources to host awesome events - any help is greatly appreciated!


Failure to pass the Scottish Budget would create a "thick layer of uncertainty" for businesses at an "already challenging time", retail chiefs have warned.
With Finance Secretary Derek Mackay apparently unable to find opposition support for his draft tax and spending plans, the Scottish Retail Consortium (SRC) urged politicians to take a "collegiate approach" to ensure the proposals can pass through Holyrood on Thursday.
That marks the first opportunity for the Scottish Parliament to vote on the 2019-20 Budget.
While the six Scottish Green MSPs have backed the minority SNP administration's budget for the last two years, co-convener Patrick Harvie claimed the "hugely damaging" proposals for the coming year would lead to massive cuts in local services.
The Budget includes an additional £730 million investment in health services north of the border and £180 million aimed at boosting attainment in schools – with £5 billion of capital investment including £1.7 billion spending on transport infrastructure and a £50 million town centre fund to support struggling high streets.
Meanwhile, tax changes outlined in the plans will increase differences between Scotland and the rest of the UK.
From April, taxpayers south of the border will only pay income tax at the 40p rate if they earn more than £50,000 a year – while in Scotland it is proposed people will pay the higher rate of 41p on earnings above £43,430.
SRC director David Lonsdale said while the plans that have been put forward are "far from perfect", there was much in the draft Budget that retailers supported, including funding for town centres and income tax proposals aimed at "protecting ordinary workers" from higher bills.
With the UK's departure from the European Union just two months away, he stressed the damage uncertainty could have on firms.
Mr Lonsdale said: "In the current volatile economic and political climate, businesses need as much certainty as possible. That's why it's crucial MSPs take a collegiate approach to ensure a Budget which supports economic growth is passed without delay.
Bruce Crawford, convener of Holyrood's Finance Committee, took to Twitter to urge political rivals to support the Budget.
Opposition parties must get behind the SNP Gov #ScotBudget. Opposing it would mean voting down additional spending on our NHS, education, welfare and local services; causing serious disruption & risking unwanted Scottish Parliament election.
However, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie insisted there was no majority for the Budget in its current form.
He stated: "Scottish Liberal Democrats are not asking for the world. We want to deliver a progressive budget that delivers on education, mental health and local government funding.
"However, we have also been clear that independence would mean less money for public services. That's why it needs to be taken off the table for the remainder of this parliament.
Finance Secretary Derek Mackay said: "Our spending plans for 2019-20 provide a real-terms funding increase for Scotland's essential public services, including additional funding of almost £730 million for our health and care services and more than £180 million to raise attainment in our schools.


Package Travel Regulations 2018 – another day in the sun for travel claims?
The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangement Regulations came into force on 1 July 2018, and apply to any holiday booked after that date. They broaden the scope of holidays to include linked travel arrangements as well as packages.
For the last few years the travel industry has been battling a litigation epidemic, now infamously referred to as "holiday sickness" claims. Historically, many companies had sought to reach early economic settlement of gastric illness claims, rather than face the potentially eye watering costs of defending litigation.

GHOST HUNTERS INVESTIGATE SOUTH COAST AUSTRALIAN HOUSE
by Dirk Vander Ploeg
Published: April 12, 2014 16:10 EDT
A team of ghost hunters has joined forces on the South Coast to delve into the paranormal. They invited DOMINIC GEIGER along to one of their investigations.
Set on a hill overlooking the northern residential area of Ulladulla, Springfield House creaks and groans with so much history it could pass for an antique store.
A white tombstone sits underneath a gnarled old tree in the front yard, and a troop of clucking chickens wanders around the rear of the house.
It's a stormy night when Mercury photographer Christopher Chan and I arrive to interview members of the Ghost Hunters of the South Coast and Territories (GHOST) group, and the rain seems to be blowing in sideways.
Group member Dan McMath meets us at the front gate, smiling happily.
He briefly mentions the tombstone, saying he doesn't think there's any one actually buried underneath.
"We've checked out the dates and we think it's a memorial," he says.
"Or the family has placed the ashes under there."
Entering the house, we are greeted by an old child's doll, propped up against an ancient chair, leering towards the front door.
A hotchpotch of old photographs and bits of furniture line the walls leading to the kitchen below.
But for all its creepiness, Springfield House also feels every part a domestic home.
In addition to being the setting for the night's ghost investigation, the property is also home for McMath's fellow investigator Steve Lynch and his family.
As we sit down at an old wooden table, Lynch's wife Corinne busies about, preparing a roast for tea.
His two young girls also run around, obviously excited about the prospect of an investigation about to get under way.
McMath and Lynch sit at opposite ends of the ghost-hunting spectrum.
While McMath is enthusiastic, and prefers spirit-finding high-tech gadgets, Lynch is more "old school", and prefers using ouija and pendulum boards to contact the departed.
"Whereas I like all the modern equipment, Steve's very nuts and bolts," McMath points out.
"The first time we did a séance here the ouija board came out, and that was interesting."
There is a third member of the group – Ian Melville, who the others describe as a sceptic who keeps them "grounded", but he isn't present for this particular investigation.
All three met through work at the Milton Ulladulla Ex Servos Club – a shared interest in the paranormal brought them together.
For McMath, it was an incident from his childhood that first pricked his passion.
He recounts a story of how, as a young boy living in the western NSW town of Narromine, he, his mother and his sister watched in disbelief over three successive nights as three ceramic figurines were mysteriously thrown from the mantel piece across the room.
For McMath, it was the start of a lifelong hobby.
"The reason we look for evidence of ghosts and hauntings is really the burning question – what happens after death?" he says.
"A lot of people experience ghostly goings on, moving furniture, hearing voices at night … we want to find out exactly what that is.
"The big thing we want to find out really at the end of the day is can we find proof that ghosts exist because … there is no hard data that ghosts actually exist."
In his quest to find proof, McMath has acquired a host of buzzing, whirring, beeping gadgets, which scan for various signals emitted by spirits.
There's the standard equipment anyone can buy – a digital camera, a sound recorder – but also objects which are a little more complex, such as the EMF disturbance sensor and vibration unit.
The reason for so much equipment, McMath explains, is that often potential evidence of a spirit will only come during hours of laborious analysis of photographic and audio evidence.
"You can wait for hours and hours … after you've had your 6-8 hours sleep when you get home in the morning and you might start that night reviewing evidence," he says.
"A lot of it is post-investigation.
"You do get phenomena happening during investigation, obviously that's what gets us excited."
Lynch and McMath are able to rattle off half a dozen sites where they've held investigations, many which have turned out to be fruitful.
Though none have offered concrete proof, places like St John's orphanage at Goulburn, the Milton Theatre and even Springfield House itself have provided small occurrences.
McMath says once they contacted the former owner of the property, a builder, who heard loud thumping noises between the first and second floors.
Unfortunately, little happens during our visit to the house.
There is no banging, no cold hands upon our necks, no disembodied voices emanating around the room.
Strangely, however, McMath is forced to twice replace batteries in a digital camera.
He says this tends to happen in areas where there is a strong spirit presence.
After McMath is finished setting up his equipment, we head to the dining room to perform a séance using a pendulum board. The lights are turned off and a torch is positioned in the middle of a table, creating an eerie glow.
As the board comes out, McMath closes his eyes, and in a deep baritone voice calls out: "Is there anyone with us tonight? Is there anyone who wishes to make contact?"
The pendulum begins to swing, slightly at first, but then more definite, moving towards the "yes" on the board.
McMath then tries to learn the initials of the spirit, moving the pendulum towards a half circle filled with letters.
The pendulum swings, first towards the letter "m", then towards the letter "c".
McMath goes to ask it another question, but suddenly the spirit is gone, and the pendulum swings no more.
Although a sceptic myself, I suddenly realise I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, eagerly willing the pendulum to start swinging again, to make contact with the departed.
The mood of the séance is serious, but not without humour.
While Lynch is in possession of the pendulum, McMath reprimands him for forgetting to say "please" to the spirit.
About 9 pm, we decide to call it a night.

If your transaction closed at the end of 2018 and you are unable to find new property to identify or purchase the property that you have identified, you may still be able to defer paying taxes on your capital gains until 2020. Since you will receive your 1031 funds back in 2019, in certain circumstances, since you did not have control/possession of your funds until 2019, the IRS may allow you to pay taxes on your 2019 tax return, which are due in 2020. This is in accordance with IRC Section 453(d) and requires your accountant to file specific tax forms. Ask your accountant if you are eligible to take advantage of this "mini" tax deferral.

Body found in South Burnaby ditch
Burnaby RCMP is investigating the circumstances and cause of the death of a man in the municipality's southern area.

Q: Compiler Error C2440 'return' cannot convert from 'clsStack' to 'T' I am getting this error message can anyone help me out.
I am getting the error code 'return' cannot convert from 'clsStack' to 'T' relating the two functions listed below.
Code is as follows
Class
template <class T>
class clsStack //this is the stack class that is used to handle the functions and any data that needs passing between functions
{
private:
    clsStack* data;
    int iTop;
    int iSize;
    void resize();
    bool needToResize();
    string sExpresion;
public:
    void stack()
    {
        iSize = 5;
        iTop = 0;
        data = new clsStack[iSize];
    }
    void push(T item);
    T peek();
    T pop();
    bool isEmpty();
};

The two functions I think the issue is related to
template <class T>
T clsStack<T>::peek() //this is used to look at the last number is the array
{
    if (iTop <= 0)
        throw out_of_range("Attempted to peek an empty stack. \n");
    return data[iTop - 1];
}

template <class T>
T clsStack<T>::pop()
{
    if (iTop <= 0)
        throw out_of_range("Attempted to pop an empty stack. \n");
        iTop++;
        return data[iTop];
}

The main function where these functions are been called
int evaluate(string sExpresion)
{
    clsStack<int> iValues;
    clsStack<char> cOperators;

    int iValue = 0;
    int iPosition = 0;
    bool bResult = false;

    while (iPosition < sExpresion.length())
    {
        char cSpot = sExpresion[iPosition];
        if (isDigit(cSpot))
        {
            iValue = (iValue * 10) + (int)(cSpot - '0');
        }
        else if (isOperator(cSpot))
        {
            if (cSpot == '(')
            {
                cOperators.push(cSpot);
                iValue = 0;
            }
            if (cSpot == '-')
            {
                cOperators.push(cSpot);
                iValue = 0;
            }
            else if (iValues.isEmpty() && cOperators.peek() == '-')
            {
                int iPrevValue = iValues.pop();

This being said, what with the web world continuously changing, the search engine algorithms change too. This is where the word 'adapt' comes in. Along with the search engines, Best SEO Strategies for Online Retailer need to adapt too in order to survive and prosper. To be able to get the best rankings they need to be up-to-date with all the appropriate practices.
Here we have given you 6 Best SEO Strategies for Online Retailer should be aware of and should adopt in order to rank their website well in this year of 2017.
The very first step in a successful e-commerce SEO is exhaustive keyword research. If you spend time researching the keywords you would be able to spot what it is that your customers are looking for and how you stand against your competitors. Your keywords need to be relevant to your product and have a match search volume in Google's AdWords keyword tool. It's possible that you find your keyword to be too competitive in your specific niche. In that case, long-tail keywords would be a better idea. These are generally three or four worded phrases whereas primary keywords are generally one to two words. There are lot of keyword research tools available. SEM, Google keyword planner etc are my choice keyword research tools.
Contrary to what some might think, Meta tags are still an important part of SEO. Try typing out a keyword in a search engine. When that page title comes up you will be able to see how the keyword is reflected in it. The page title is considered as a relevance signal for that particular keyword by Google. The same logic applies for the page description as well. However, if you are thinking in the terms of the keyword title tag, you need not bother. Google has apparently made it known that that tag isn't important. If you can use the meta tags more effectively, your pages and descriptions will be easily identified. Arrange your meta tags to grab maximum information about your pages. Use the meta tags to help search engine bots to easily crawl and understand about your website pages.
Good and high quality content is the chief idea behind SEO. Without good relevant content the entire process would be a total waste. It not only gives your keywords ranking but also would generate considerable search traffic. Google always gives importance to good content. The content needs to be useful and helpful to the customer and you would then be considered as an authority in your niche. Content is familiarly known as the king in SEO. Using fresh content which spreads good value, information, ideas, tips, guidelines will always shine among the readers. Online retailers can use contents which says tips and guidelines about their products. The contents used in online publications like blog posts, social media posts, articles should be relevant, fresh, quality and unique.
Come to think of it back links are equally important to the content. Your goal should not be having the max number of links but rather you should concentrate on qualitative links which points back to the website. There are several ways by which you can build links. You could try guest-posting on other sites or email your content to other site owners who are relevant in your field. That way you can manage a back link from them. This is why you need excellent content and not just plain product pages. Most people would readily link back to great content rather than plain product pages. Good graphical content would also pull in news websites or bloggers. Building a huge number of back link is not advisable now a days. Because Google strictly valuates and counts the relevant links for your ranking improvements. Irrelevant links from less quality websites may effect as harmful. Online retailers and shopping website owners can publish linkable articles and stuffs in their content marketing areas. So naturally website will get more back links from quality websites.
An online retailer's site would not be complete with no social media. The signals put out by social media can impact your SEO strongly. When you have lots of social signals, it basically tells Google that your website or brand is found valuable by people. E-commerce sites must have social buttons on their pages, posts as well as homepage and connect to sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and so on.
Yes, content is extremely important. But pictures are equally important. Consumers not only look for products but also look at their images when the web results crop up. If your images are flawed or not visually attractive they might just move on, even if the content or descriptions are very qualitative. Hence, what matters is that the images are of very high quality and the file names have the relevant keywords. Only then would they rank high in search engines. This would automatically bring in more traffic as the image would bring customers to your store.
All the best SEO strategies for online retailer six tactics play an important part in planning your SEO. However, along with these you also need to research your competitors. Find out what are their strategies as far as On-page optimization, off-page optimization or social media goes. You might just find that you are probably doing the same things. In that case, you need to turn it up a notch; only then would you be able to move forward in the race.

Abstract. Ecological statistics usually refers to the distinctive statistical methods used for ecological questions and data. Little of that information will be found in this book.... The second edition of this ecological statistics textbook adds two chapters on distinctive statistical methods used for ecological questions. One new chapter covers estimating species richness and other diversity metrics; this chapter focuses on rarefaction curves, although there is a short discussion of Chao's estimators of assemblage richness.

Avacyn Restored: Bound by Strength Review (Part 1 of 2)
In 2007, Magic players long accustomed to the now-traditional three-set block were in for a surprise. Indeed, going back to 1996's Mirage Wizards had settled on a formula of an annual cycle of blocks consisting of a large set in the Autumn followed by two smaller sets, a fashion which endured all of eleven years. By that point, many players had never known a Magic that was any different, a game made up of a string of unconnected, self-contained expansions. And so when Lorwyn arrived, it was something novel and unusual- a block made up of only two halves, itself connected to a subsequent block made up of two halves.
To be fair, "half" is something of a misnomer- it was a divided set, but as usual the first set was the larger. Still, Lorwyn/Morningtide and the following Shadowmoor/Eventide showed what could result when Wizards lent itself the flexibility to design beyond "the way things are done" and be willing to not just innovate with cards, but with the very release schedule itself. In a funny twist of fate, we'd see both of these notions intersect with Innistrad- the classic one-shot expansion fused with the dual-set block.
Indeed, Innistrad in its present form wasn't meant to be. Initially, the block of "Shake/Rattle/Roll" (the design code-names) was going to be two different blocks- one of a large set followed by a small expansion (Shake/Rattle), and then a one-shot "block" of a single large set, Roll. As Mark Rosewater has disclosed on the mothership, Roll being the third set in the block meant that it was slated for release in May, though at some point during design the obvious question became apparent: wouldn't a "horror world" setting make more sense for October? That meant that "Shake" would now be what we know as Innistrad, and it would need a follow-up small set to accompany it. As R&D partnered with Creative to flesh out the newly-decided two-set block, they realised that the story of the plane of Innistrad and the angelic protector Avacyn really needed three sets' worth of telling. That meant a reversion to the traditional three-set block model, but to show the transformation that would take place with the return of Avacyn they could make the third set another large, semi-standalone set, a model we'd recently seen just a couple of blocks before. As for the original Shake and Rattle, we can be certain that it will pop up at some point down the pike.
In our previous review, we looked at Angelic Might with one eye fixed firmly on 2010's Rise of the Eldrazi. Rise was itself an innovation, a third set which, while connected thematically to the previous Autumn set, was a full-size and self-contained expansion. With no mechanical continuity between it and Zendikar/Worldwake, it was in many ways a one-set "block," or standalone set. Although heralded as having one of the best Limited formats in the history of the game, Rise of the Eldrazi nevertheless drew some criticism from players who felt that it was too divorced from Zendikar and lacked narrative cohesion. Wizards took this on-board as a lesson learned, as their reasoning pointed more and more to the viability and even importance of having periodic third sets that were standalones rather than expansions (for more on that, Zac Hill's recent column on the mothership is superb reading). How, then, could you make a third, large set that still had ties to the block itself? Outwith the story arc (whcih had been continued from Zendikar to Rise of the Eldrazi), the best way to connect them is with mechanics.
Of course, it's not enough to just continue the existing mechanics and add a few more- doing so would start to make the set feel somewhat cramped and crowded with different keywords fighting for representation. But what if you introduced some new mechanics while maintaining continuity with one from the previous sets? For Avacyn Restored, R&D decided that undying would see print in Avacyn Restored, but the rest- flashback, morbid, fateful hour, and the dual-face cards would be deemed to have run their course. In their stead would be new mechanics, soulbond and miracle. Sadly, like other "minor" mechanics before it (see: imprint, rebound, traps), miracle doesn't get so much as a sniff in the Intro Packs. The set's other mechanic, soulbond, however, is the very backbone of one. On that note, we're delighted to crack into Bound by Strength.
Bound to a Higher Calling
As mentioned above, our review of Angelic Might highlighted some of the similarities between it and Rise of the Eldrazi. Bound by Strength similarly has a parallel on the tumultuous plane of Zendikar in The Adventurers. With the Allies, creatures who generated spell-like effects when others of their type entered the battlefield, there wasn't a lot of need for a heavy noncreature support component to the deck- just a few basics including some burn and an Overrun. This deck goes even further along the same axis, forfeiting most of its support in favour of a substantial amount of creatures. Indeed, Bound by Strength is one of the most creature-heavy decks of all time,
It begins simply and appropriately with a pair of Llanowar Elves, mana rampers critical to the development of a deck even more mana-hungry than Angelic Might (an average converted mana cost of 3.23 versus 3.06). Next to them we also find a Nephalia Smuggler, a purely utilitarian inclusion whose ability to flicker your creatures allows you to break soulbonds and reforge them with other creatures. This allows a higher degree of customisation in the field, as you can mix and match your bonds to adapt to conditions on the battlefield.
Finally, we find our first soulbond creature amongst the one-drops n the Wingcrafter. The Wingcrafter is a 1/1 which grants itself and its partner flying when paired. It's a deceptively elegant design when compared with, say, a Zephyr Sprite– one always is evasive, but is also self-contained. The other has it conditionally, but never alone. Thanks to the usefulness of flying, this is a card you'll seldom be disappointed to draw as it is useful at any stage of the game.
In our two-drops, we have two different creatures. The Nightshade Peddler is another soulbond creature, and one of the weaker ones available. Deathtouch is a useful ability, but highly situational. It often finds best use on defense, as an opponent will often hesitate to commit their best attackers to the field until they've dealt with the threat. Of course, that means that your own attackers will have one more body to deal with across the table. On the upside, it can be an effective way to stall the board, and given the demands of the deck it can buy you time to get your manabase set up. This was the logic behind the inclusion of such cards as Gideon's Lawkeeper and Angelic Wall in Angelic Might, though at least that deck had the luxury of having all of its closers be evasive. You'll get no such luxury here. Beyond the Peddler there's a Runeclaw Bear, about which the less said, perhaps, the better.
You get a few more non-soulbond options in the three-drops in the form of a Wolfir Avenger and pair of Latch Seekers. The Avenger is terrifically strong, a 3/3 for three mana with two relevant abilities, and is about as close to a removal spell as you're going to find in this deck You should almost always try and cast him as a surprise blocker, getting maximal value out of the card. Across the aisle in Blue we find the Latch Seeker. The Seeker continues the unblockable theme of Blue's creatures, and despite its low toughness its high power can make it a real threat.
Tandem Lookout
For instance, consider the Tandem Lookout. A brittle 2/1 on its own, it can easily bond with the Seeker to give you a free card each turn. Of course, this does entail leaving the easily-killable Lookout sitting idle, but if you're drawing a free card and swinging for 3 damage each turn, you should make up for the lost productivity in fairly short order. Also here we find our first stat-boosting soulbond creature in the Trusted Forcemage, and the deck gives you a trio of her. She's a straightforward card, a simple +1/+1 bonus to her and her bonded partner.
One step up the ladder we find her next incarnation in the Druid's Familiar. Similar to the Forcemage, it gives a +2/+2 bonus which puts it right on-curve (the bonded Forcemage is a 3/3 for three mana, the Familiar a 4/4 for four). The Elgaud Shieldmate, on the other hand, is in the "abilities-granting" form, and gives hexproof to her and her partner. She's also a fairly robust 2/3 body, so unlike the Tandem Lookout she can be a more active participant in the red zone. Finally here we find a pair of Flowering Lumberknots, a bird of unique plumage. Unike the other soulbond cards, this Lumberknot doesn't offer any boosts or abilities to its partner. Rather, what you get here is a cheap fattie- 5/5 for four mana- that is inert until bonded.
At the top of the mana curve we find exactly what you'd expect- the deck's closers. The Acidic Slime is the exception here. A role-playing card, it's removal on a stick, though a fairly ordinary stick at that. Quite far from ordinary, however, we find the deck's foil premium rare, the Wolfir Silverheart. This monster takes the formula established by the Forcemage and Familiar above and smashes it to rubble. Unlike its earlier incarnations, which only are on-curve for their cost when bonded, the Silverheart is fine enough on its own as a 4/4, but comes a colossal 8/8 when partnered with another creature. Stick that with, say, a Wingcrafter, and you'll be putting your opponent in a very short clock indeed.
A bit less sexy but still with a part to play are the Geist Trappers. Their larger body is welcome, though their soulbond-granted ability is quite situational. Against Angelic Might you'll be delighted to draw this card, but against decks without fliers it's a 3/5 body for five mana and nothing more.
As good fortune has it, the rest of the deck's closers are even larger still. Vorstclaw is a simple 7/7 vanilla creature whose greatest virtue is his low mana cost, qhich compares quite favourably to the classic Craw Wurm. Indeed, the Craw Wurm itself gets a new paint job and upgrade with the Pathbreaker Wurm, another 6/4 for six mana that offers trample to itself and its partner. This is ideal for cards like the Silverheart and Vorstclaw, who are easily chumped, but is good virtually anywhere if only for the bonus it grants the Pathbreaker.
The final creature here is the deck's other rare, the Deadeye Navigator. This card brings the deck full circle, as it evokes the Nephalia Smuggler at the start of the deck breakdown. Unlike the Smuggler, however, the Navigator (and its partner) exile themselves. It's a curious ability, but it fills a similar purpose- letting you break bons when needed when the opportunity for better ones arrive. The Navigator, it should be mentioned, is no pushover either. As a 5/5, this is another one you'd like to see paired up with some other abilities like flying or trample.
Combat Against Darkness
As we noted above, the noncreature support complement here is quite minuscule, but it at least tries to hit the familiar notes. You have your dose of combat trickery in a pair of Joint Assaults, a Giant Growth variant custom-tailored to take full advantage of soulbond. Removal comes in the shape of an Ice Cage, which is fairly poor as far as removal goes but about as good as you're going to get. You get the opportunity for card drawing in a pair of Lair Delves, which are a perfect fit in this deck thanks to the unlikelihood of hitting a non-creature/non-land card. Lastly- and critically- you have access to an Overrun. With as many troops as you'll be able to play onto the field with Bound by Strength, you should have little trouble winning most games you're able to resolve this spell in.
Overall, we're a bit concerned about the deck's composition. The soulbond mechanic is intriguing and innovative, but much of it doesn't seem useful enough to make up for the lack of noncreature spells. The paucity of ramp is also worrying- Angelic Might cost less overall, but had a much more robust suite. These are the things we'll be keeping an eye on when we go to test the deck. Come on back in two days' time and see what we found!

so excited to see this review….Y U NO RELEASE PART 2 SOONERRRR 😦
I agree with your concerns on the deck's composition. It looks like the deck will end up being overly complicated to play, as the bonds will make so many cards not function as read.
Icehawk
Curious to see how Soulbound plays out. Yeah, I know it's soulbond, but I'm never going to remember to drop the u.
By that token, I did a CTRL+F on the article before submitting it to see how many slipped through. Three. Right there with ya!
gobias
Well, "Soulbound" does sound cool, and fits the flavor…
Nathalie Goddy
Of all the intro packs, I believe this deck has the most interesting rares. Much has been written already about Wolfir Silverheart, and it is indeed amazing. It needs more non-creature support than this deck is offering to be used to its full potential, but I have no doubt it will become one of big players in Avacyn Restored.
Deadeye Navigator is more subtle, but the possibilities it offers are interesting to say the least. It interaction with every ETB ability is obvious, but it can also be used to permanently steal your opponent's creatures or cheaply cast creatures with Evoke without incurring the drawback of sacrificing them. The only drawback is its heavy cost, which will likely restrict it to casual and EDH games.
This deck seems very interesting. I was going to buy it today, but I opted to buy Slaughterhouse instead. I hope you guys review it soon!
i'm in the EXACT same dilemma. How did you make your decision?

At last week's General Membership Meeting, the Co-op's member-owners had the opportunity to see the plans for the store's design in a presentation from Mike Cronomiz of Re:Vision Architecture. Re:Vision Architecture, which was hired by the Co-op to design the store space early this year, is a green architecture firm specializing in sustainability. Throughout the planning process, they received feedback from UNFI, as well as members of several other local co-ops, to optimize the layout and design of the space.
The Co-op will be 3,300 square feet, approximately 100 feet deep and 33 feet wide, with two point of sale systems at the front of the store. It will also include two bathrooms, walk-in storage, a food-prep area, shipping and receiving, a staff office and break room, and a bulk foods section. The floors above the Co-op will be occupied by eight apartments.
These renderings mark an important step forward in the Co-op's construction- the Real Estate Committee scouted over 80 locations before signing the lease at 2031 S. Juniper! Help us begin construction by becoming a member-owner, investing in the Co-op through our Member-Owner Note Program, or making a Capital Campaign donation.

Zika virus infection: Global Update
Posted by info@markhamtravelhealth.com
Travel Health Notice
The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends that pregnant women and those planning a pregnancy avoid travel to countries or areas in the United States with reported mosquito-borne Zika virus.
The World Health Organization Zika situation report lists countries where there is reported mosquito-borne Zika virus transmission (countries listed under category 1 and 2 of Table 1[pdf, 396 kb).
The United States have reported cases of Zika virus infection transmitted locally by mosquitoes in the states of Florida and Texas.
Pregnant women and those planning a pregnancy should avoid travel to the affected areas of Florida (see CDC map), and Texas (see CDC map)
There is potential transmission of Zika virus in and around areas with reported locally transmitted cases, even if cases are not yet reported.
Pregnant women and those planning a pregnancy should consider postponing travel to other areas in Florida.
All travellers should protect themselves from mosquito bites. For additional recommendations please see the section below.
Zika virus infection is caused by a virus which is primarily spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. It can also be transmitted from an infected pregnant woman to her developing fetus. In addition, Zika virus can be sexually transmitted, and the virus can persist for an extended period of time in the semen of infected males. Cases of sexual transmission from an infected male to his partner have been reported. Only one case of sexual transmission has been reported from an infected female to her partner.
Symptoms of Zika virus can include fever, headache, conjunctivitis (pink eye) and skin rash, along with joint and muscle pain. The illness is typically mild and lasts only a few days and the majority of those infected do not have symptoms. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against Zika virus infection.
Experts agree that Zika virus infection causes microcephaly (abnormally small head) in a developing fetus during pregnancy and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (a neurological disorder). Several countries have reported cases of microcephaly and Guillian-Barré Syndrome. Brazil, in particular, has reported a significant increase in the number of newborns with microcephaly.
Zika virus is occurring in many regions of the world although local transmission of Zika virus was first reported in the Americas in 2015. There have been travel-related cases of Zika virus reported in Canada in returned travellers from countries with ongoing Zika virus outbreaks.
On November 18, 2016, the World Health Organization announced that the Zika virus, microcephaly and other neurological disorders still pose a significant public health challenge, however, no longer meet the criteria of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. For Canadian women of childbearing age and their sexual partners, the risks associated with travel to countries reporting local mosquito-borne transmission, remain the same.
This travel health notice will be updated as more information becomes available.
Consult a health care provider or visit a travel health clinic preferably six weeks before you travel.
Pregnant women and those planning a pregnancy should avoid travel to countries or areas in the United States with reported mosquito-borne Zika virus.
If travel cannot be avoided or postponed strict mosquito bite prevention measures should be followed due to the association between Zika virus infection and increased risk of serious health effects on their developing fetus.
Travellers returning from countries and areas in the United States with reported mosquito-borne Zika virus:
For pregnant women, if you develop symptoms that could be consistent with Zika virus infection, you should consult a health care provider.
For women planning a pregnancy, it is strongly recommended that you wait at least 2 months before trying to conceive to ensure that any possible Zika virus infection has cleared your body.
For male travellers, Zika virus can persist for an extended period of time in the semen of infected males, therefore:
It is strongly recommended that, if you have a pregnant partner, you should use condoms or avoid having sex for the duration of the pregnancy.
It is strongly recommended that you and your partner wait to conceive for 6 months by using a condom or by avoiding having sex.
It is recommended that you should consider using condoms or avoid having sex with any partner for 6 months.
Travellers should protect themselves from mosquito bites at all times, as the Zika virus is transmitted by a mosquito that can bite in daylight and evening hours. These mosquitoes generally do not live or transmit disease at elevations above 2,000 meters. A list of how to prevent insect bites is available on the Government of Canada's website.
Most people who have Zika virus illness will have mild symptoms that resolve with simple supportive care. If you are pregnant, or you have underlying medical conditions, or you develop more serious symptoms that could be consistent with Zika virus infection, you should see a health care provider and tell them where you have been travelling or living.

WHO temporary polio vaccine recommendations
Recommendations for travellers
Consult a health care provider or visit a travel health clinic, preferably six weeks before you travel outside of Canada.
Follow the WHO temporary recommendations:
The WHO temporary recommendations apply to long term travellers (more than 4 weeks) to Afghanistan and Pakistan. These countries have been designated as "states currently exporting wild poliovirus or cVDPV" by the WHO IHR Emergency Committee. The WHO recommendations state that these countries should ensure that long term travellers to these countries:
Be fully vaccinated against polio.
Receive an additional dose of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) or inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) between 4 weeks and 12 months prior to international travel.
Be aware that a polio booster may be required to exit a designated country or enter into another, even if you already received an adult booster dose over a year ago.
Carry the appropriate documentation. It is recommended that you carry a written vaccination record in the event that evidence of vaccination is requested for country entry or exit requirements. Your proof of vaccination should be documented in the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis which you can get from a Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.
The WHO temporary recommendations also apply to long term travellers (more than 4 weeks) to countries "infected with wild poliovirus or cVDPV but not currently exporting" (Burma (Myanmar), Guinea, Laos, Madagascar and Nigeria). The WHO recommendations state that these countries should encourage that long term travellers to these countries:
Should carry appropriate documentation of their vaccination status, such as a card or booklet.
Consult the Travel Health Notice on Polio: Global Update for further recommendations for travellers.
For additional information, WHO has developed frequently asked questions for travellers about the temporary recommendations.

WHO certifies Sri Lanka malaria-free
Colombo, 5 September 2016: In a remarkable public health achievement, Sri Lanka was today certified by WHO on having eliminated malaria, a life-threatening disease which long affected the island country.
"Sri Lanka's achievement is truly remarkable. In the mid-20th century it was among the most malaria-affected countries, but now it is malaria-free. This is testament to the courage and vision of its leaders, and signifies the great leaps that can be made when targeted action is taken. It also demonstrates the importance of grass-roots community engagement and a whole-of-society approach when it comes to making dramatic public health gains," WHO Regional Director, Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, said here.
Sri Lanka's road to elimination was tough, and demanded well-calibrated, responsive policies. After malaria cases soared in the 1970s and 80s, in the 1990s the country's anti-malaria campaign adjusted its strategy to intensively target the parasite in addition to targeting the mosquito.
The change in strategy was unorthodox, but highly effective. Mobile malaria clinics in high transmission areas meant that prompt and effective treatment could reduce the parasite reservoir and the possibility of further transmission. Effective surveillance, community engagement and health education, meanwhile, enhanced the ability of authorities to respond, and mobilized popular support for the campaign.
The adaptation/ flexibility of strategies and support from key partners such as WHO and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria fast-tracked success. By 2006, the country recorded less than 1 000 cases of malaria per year, and since October 2012, the indigenous cases were down to zero. For the past three-and-a-half years, no locally transmitted cases have been recorded.
To maintain elimination and ensure the parasite is not reintroduced to the country, the anti-malaria campaign is working closely with local authorities and international partners to maintain surveillance and response capacity and to screen high-risk populations entering the country.
Sri Lanka is the second country in the WHO South-East Asia Region to eliminate malaria after Maldives. The announcement of Sri Lanka's victory over malaria was made at the WHO South-East Asia Region's annual Regional Committee meeting in the presence of health ministers and senior health officials from all 11 Member States.
The Regional Director said WHO will continue to support the efforts of Sri Lanka's health authorities as they relate to malaria, as well as the country's wider public health mission. This outstanding achievement should be a springboard to further public health gains in the country and the South-East Asia Region as a whole.
Aug 06 Comments Off on Interim Canadian recommendations for the use of a fractional dose of yellow fever vaccine during a vaccine shortage
Interim Canadian recommendations for the use of a fractional dose of yellow fever vaccine during a vaccine shortage
This statement outlines interim recommendations intended for use during yellow fever vaccine shortages only. The recommendations differ from the standard recommendations for yellow fever vaccination in the Canadian Immunization Guide and in the Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel (CATMAT) Statement for Travellers and Yellow Fever.
Yellow fever vaccine shortages pose a challenge. Travel clinics may be allotted a small fraction of the number of vaccines typically ordered, or in some cases, travel clinics will not have access to the yellow fever vaccine until a new supply of the vaccine is available. There is currently only one licensed marketer of the vaccine in Canada. In 2016, there have been calls for the use of a fractional dose of yellow fever vaccine to address a global yellow fever vaccine shortage, a measure which would allow for immunization of a greater number of people during the vaccine shortage (1-3). This suggestion is primarily based on three studies which have shown that doses in the range of 1/10 to 1/5 of the usual 0.5 ml subcutaneous dose are protective based on laboratory criteria. On 17 June 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement that the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization found that the use of a fifth of a standard vaccine dose (0.1 ml instead of 0.5 ml) would provide protection against yellow fever for at least 12 months based on a review of existing evidence (4). The WHO states that the fractional dose of yellow fever vaccine can be considered a safe and effective approach to control an urban outbreak in case of vaccine shortages. CATMAT formed a working group to review the evidence and make interim recommendations on the use and documentation of fractional doses of yellow fever vaccine in Canada intended for use during yellow fever vaccine shortages only. Each member was a volunteer, and none declared a relevant conflict of interest. The recommendations differ from the standard recommendations for yellow fever vaccination in the Canadian Immunization Guide (5) and in the Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel (CATMAT) Statement for Travellers and Yellow Fever (6).
A literature search for evidence related to the immunogenicity of a fractional dose of yellow fever vaccine was conducted. Evidence was retrieved by performing searches in electronic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health and Scopus). The search spanned the initial date for each database until June 2016 and 49 results were identified. Titles and abstracts of these results were reviewed and selected for inclusion based on relevancy to the research question.
In 2008, Roukens et al studied the effect of a one-fifth dose of yellow fever vaccine administered intradermally. All subjects developed titres of neutralizing antibody considered to be protective (7). The average subject age was 27 years with a wide adult age range (18 to 70 years). In 2013, Martins et al studied seroconversion and viremia responses to the use of full dose and five different dilutions of the usual human dose of 17-DD yellow fever vaccine administered subcutaneously (8). There was little difference in immune response down to a dilution of 1:50. In a 2014 extension of the Martins study (using the same patient data and collected blood), Campi-Azevedo studied serum biomarkers of cellular immunity responses using fractional doses (9). There was evidence of protection at dilutions down to 1:50. However, consistent findings of equivalency to a full dose across all markers of immunity (serology, viremia and cellular immunity) were found down to a 1:10 dilution. In the Martins and Campi-Azevedo investigations, all subjects were healthy young males with an average age of 19 years. Although the results of these studies are encouraging, this constitutes a limited evidence base. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of fractional doses, especially in young children.
Under normal circumstances, a recommendation for use of fractional dose of yellow fever vaccine would not be made for travellers. However, some travellers going to yellow fever endemic or epidemic regions may not have access to a full dose of yellow fever vaccine, and as such, these travellers face the choice of not receiving a vaccine or receiving a fractional dose of vaccine. In view of this situation, CATMAT makes the following recommendations, applicable to individuals for whom the standard yellow fever vaccine recommendations apply, including young children:
• For travel to a region of a country with risk of yellow fever, health care professionals should first emphasize the importance of receiving a full dose of vaccine or otherwise postponing the trip. This is especially critical for travel to areas experiencing an ongoing outbreak of the disease.
• If a traveller must travel to an endemic area, especially to areas experiencing an ongoing outbreak of yellow fever, and a full dose cannot be located after reasonable efforts, a fractional dose may be administered. The dose should be 1/5 of the usual dose (0.1 ml instead of 0.5 ml) administered by the traditional subcutaneous route. As with a full dose, a fractional dose is considered protective 10 days after it is administered to a person who has never before received the yellow fever vaccine.
• If a traveller planning a high risk itinerary receives a fractional dose of yellow fever vaccine, and then later finds that a full dose has become available, this dose may be administered and the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) may be issued.
• Once reconstituted, the vaccine vial should be stored between 2° and 8° Celsius, and used within one hour. Thus, it will be necessary to vaccinate several people within that hour in order to efficiently use the contents of the vial in the allotted time. The health care professional may find that the use of disposable 1 cc insulin syringes with non-detachable needle wastes less vaccine. Four, possibly five, doses may be obtained from one vial. Strict aseptic technique should be observed.
• If fewer than five doses are being administered, it is recommended that the entire contents of the vial be used, equally distributed among those being immunized. This will allow for the administration of somewhat more than 0.1 ml per person.
• Based on available data, a fractional dose (1/5) should be considered protective for one year. Protection may be longer, however long term data is lacking. No recommendation is made at this time regarding repeat fractional dose immunization for subsequent travel.
• Once the supply of yellow fever vaccine is restored in Canada, the use of fractional doses should be discontinued.
• Practitioners are reminded that the WHO now considers a single full dose of yellow fever vaccine protective for life regardless of when it is administered.
Documentation of fractional dose yellow fever vaccination
The WHO states that a fractional dose of the yellow fever vaccine would not qualify for a yellow fever certificate under the International Health Regulations (IHR) (4). Therefore CATMAT does not recommend that practitioners use the official International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) card to document a fractional dose. One option for documentation is the use of the Certificate of Medical Contraindication to Vaccination provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada. An explanation can be written inside informing that a fractional dose of 0.1 ml of the yellow fever vaccine was administered subcutaneously due to a severe vaccine shortage.

Jul 12 Comments Off on Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-Cov)
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-Cov)
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) is an infectious disease caused by a virus from the coronaviruses family. Coronaviruses are one of the causes of the common cold but can also be the cause of more severe illnesses including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). People who have been infected with MERS-CoV have experienced clinical symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. Many have also reported gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against MERS-CoV.
The current understanding of MERS-CoV is that the virus has spread to humans from direct or indirect contact with infected camels or humans.
Some of the infections have occurred in groups of individuals in close contact with one another (for example: within the same household or work environment) and an increasing number of outbreaks have occurred within health care settings among patients and health care workers, indicating the importance of followingstrict infection control practices . Based on the current available evidence, the public health risk posed by MERS-CoV to Canadians remains low.
Where is MERS-CoV a concern?
Since September 2012, the following countries in the Middle East have reported cases of MERS-CoV: Bahrain, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
Several other countries have also reported cases in individuals who have travelled to the Middle East: Algeria, Austria, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. Limited local transmission among close contacts of these travellers has also been reported.
In June 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported an outbreak of MERS-CoV occurring in a hospital in the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia.
For the latest updates on MERS-CoV, including the total number of cases and deaths, please visit the World Health Organization's website . There continue to be no travel restrictions as the risk to travellers remains low.
The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends that those travelling practise usual precautions as outlined in the recommendations section below.
Be aware that the risk may be higher for travellers with chronic medical conditions (for example: diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, respiratory disease).
If you have chronic medical conditions, your risk may be higher.
Practise safe food and water precautions.
Avoid food that may be contaminated with animal secretions.
Avoid raw or undercooked (rare) camel meat. Only eat foods that are well cooked and served hot.
Avoid unpasteurized dairy products such as raw camel milk.
Avoid drinking camel urine (a practice associated with medicinal purposes in certain regions).
Avoid close contact with all wild or farmed animals, such as bats and camels.
If you must visit a farm or market, make sure you practise good hygiene and wash your hands before and after contact with animals.
Protect yourself and others from the spread of germs and flu-like illness.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick and coughing
There may be increased risk for travellers who require medical care in facilities where hospital-associated cases of MERS-CoV are occurring.
Travellers should monitor the recommendations from local authorities related to health care facilities in countries currently experiencing cases of MERS-CoV.
If you are sick with flu-like symptoms, delay travel or stay home:
Travellers should recognize signs and symptoms of flu-like illness, and delay travel or stay home if not feeling well.
If you are a close contact of a MERS-CoV patient, you should not travel during the time you are being monitored for the development of symptoms.
Travellers should note that they may be subject to quarantine measures in some countries if showing flu-like symptoms.
Wash your hands frequently:
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands as germs can be spread this way. For example, if you touch a doorknob that has germs on it then touch your mouth, you can get sick.
Wash your hands with soap under warm running water for at least 20 seconds, as often as possible.
Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. It's a good idea to always keep some with you when you travel.
Practise proper cough and sneeze etiquette:
Cover your mouth and nose with your arm to reduce the spread of germs. If you use a tissue, dispose of it as soon as possible and wash your hands afterwards.
Stay up-to-date with your vaccinations
Be up-to-date with your routine vaccines and adult boosters and necessary travel vaccinations.
Monitor your health
If you develop flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough and/or shortness of breath within 14 days after your return to Canada from countries in the Middle East , especially if you have a chronic medical condition, seek medical attention.
It is recommended that you call ahead to your health care provider or urgent care facility to inform them of your symptoms and which countries you have visited while travelling. Also, inform them if you have been in a healthcare facility while abroad. This way, the health care provider can arrange to see you without exposing others.

Traveling to China, What You Need to Know
According to the World Tourism Organization, tourism is increasing in China and the country is set to become the world's largest tourist destination by the year 2020. The Chinese government is opening more attractions and regions in the country to foreign tourists. Even though tourism in the country is opening up it can still be challenge to travel in the country due to language barriers and travel restrictions. Today most travelers opt for guided tours.
What Vaccinations will I Need to Travel to China?
The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends travelers get vaccinated for the following diseases before traveling to China:
Hepatitis A – this disease is spread through contaminated food, water, or contact with an infected person. This vaccine is especially recommended if you plan to sample some of the many street food offerings during your travels.
Hepatitis B – is a serious liver disease that can be spread through the exchange of bodily fluids, sexual intercourse, and the use of an infected piercing tool or needle.
Rabies – Travelers to China should be vaccinated against rabies as the country has one of the highest numbers of reported cases of rabies in the world. Rabies is spread through the saliva of an infected animal.
Japanese Encephalitis – This disease is prevalent in most Asian countries. Vaccination is recommended for travelers who plan to spend time in the southern parts of China where irrigation is still done through flooding or travelers who plan to spend a lot of time outdoors.
Polio – China has not had a reported case of polio since 1994 but the country borders on Pakistan and Afghanistan where the polio virus is still epidemic.
Are there Other Infections I should Know About?
Travelers should be aware mosquitoes carrying the Malaria virus have been found in the Yunnan Province near the China and Myanmar border. The risk is low to most travelers.
Avian Influenza has been reported in humans since 2013 in China. Most cases of the avian influenza have occurred in the southern and eastern parts of China including Taiwan and Hong Kong. Two travelers from Canada were reported to have contracted the virus after a trip to China in 2015.
How Safe is China
Travel is relatively safe in China. The risk of violent crime is very low in China as is the chance of being robbed or raped. Travelers should be aware pick pocketing is very common in tourist destinations and at transit stations.
Train stations and subways have bag scanners and police at the gates to scan bags for sharp objects and check the content of water bottles. For the most part, officials are checking for domestic terrorism threats.
Domestic terrorism is a concern in the westernmost part of China in the Xinjiang Uyghur region where political and religious unrest has led to violence in recent years.
The biggest threat to travelers in China is the traffic. Cars have the right of way in China, exercise caution when crossing streets. Ask for a business card from your hotel in both Chinese and English to help you get back to the hotel if you become lost.
A travel specialist at Markham Travel Health can help answer all of your questions about your trip to China.

"Britain is 30% forest, but 77% sign.
You've clearly never been to France though. Not only are there a ton of signs (the average lamp post has at least 12 of them on it), they're often written in acronyms/initialisms, so no-one actually knows where they lead. Remind me to send you a picture.
And really? Could there possibly be somewhere in the world with more signage than the UK? Back to that old sense of competition between the Brits and the French! And yes — do send a pic!

Ana de Médici (Florencia, 21 de julio de 1616-Viena, 11 de septiembre de 1676) fue una noble italiana, la séptima hija del gran duque Cosme II de Toscana y de la archiduquesa María Magdalena de Austria (hija de Carlos II de Estiria, archiduque de Austria, y de María Ana de Baviera, y nieta del emperador Fernando I de Habsburgo).

Matrimonio y descendencia
Por razones de conveniencia política, el 10 de junio de 1646 fue dada en matrimonio al archiduque austriaco Fernando Carlos de Habsburgo, conde del Tirol, que era su primo-hermano, por cuanto era hijo del archiduque Leopoldo V de Austria (hermano de su madre, María Magdalena) y de Claudia de Médici (hermana de Cosme II, su padre). Este matrimonio tuvo tres hijas:
 Claudia Felicidad (30 de mayo de 1653-8 de abril de 1676), que fue la segunda esposa del emperador Leopoldo I.
 Una hija que murió al nacer (nació y murió el 19 de julio de 1654).
 María Magdalena (17 de agosto de 1656-21 de enero de 1669).
